💪 Fancy this GraphQL query? I'm on my way to build it!

— 2 minute read

The query is this one:

mutation {
  comment(id: 1) {
    replyToComment(data: data) {
      id @sendEmail(
        to: "{{ parentComment.author.email }}",
        subject: "{{ author.name }} has replied to your comment",
        content: "
          <p>On {{ comment.date(format: \"d/m/Y\") }}, {{ author.name }} says:</p>
          <blockquote>{{ comment.content }}</blockquote>
          <p>Read online: {{ comment.url }}</p>
        "
      )
    }
  }
}

This query demonstrates how sending notifications via Symfony Notifier will be accomplished (for email, Slack and SMS). It makes use of a few pioneering features, still being considered (to more or less extent) for the GraphQL spec:

🔥 Nested mutations
🔥 Embeddable fields (based on composable fields)
🔥 Flat chain syntax

I am working to get the funding to implement them, through my recently launched GitHub sponsors. In total, currently there are 23 features looking for sponsorship:

Once implemented, the GraphQL API for WordPress may perfectly be the most forward-looking GraphQL in the market 🙀.

What do you think? Is it worth sponsoring this project? Want to become a sponsor?
